🌿 Meemure Begins to Heal: Rebuilding with Unity, Care, and Respect for Nature



🌿 Meemure Begins to Heal: Rebuilding with Unity, Care, and Respect for Nature

Good news for everyone who holds Meemure close to their heart —
the slow but hopeful rebuilding process has begun.

After days of heavy rain, landslides, and blocked access routes, life around Meemure is carefully moving forward again. With the combined effort of village communities, Sri Lankan soldiers, and dedicated volunteers, essential recovery work is now underway, especially in areas closer to Hunnasgiriya and surrounding access paths.

🤝 Rebuilding Together — Step by Step

Villagers who know every bend of the road, every stream, and every hidden path have taken the lead. Alongside them, security forces and volunteers are helping to:

  • Clear fallen soil and rocks
  • Stabilize damaged walking paths
  • Reopen safe access routes step by step
  • Support families affected by blocked roads and minor damage

This is not fast work.
This is careful work — because in Meemure, nature is not something to fight against, but something to respect.



🚶 Walking Access Is Possible — With Care

As of now, walking routes toward Meemure are becoming usable again, especially for experienced hikers and locals familiar with the terrain. However, it’s important to understand:

  • Some areas are still unstable
  • Certain paths remain partially blocked
  • Full road access may take several more weeks, possibly into the middle of next month, depending on weather conditions

Visitors who truly love Meemure are kindly asked to wait a little longer unless travel is absolutely necessary — or to walk only with proper guidance and awareness.

🛣️ Looking Ahead: A New Road Vision



There is also renewed discussion and early groundwork around a future road connection between Meemure and Hasalaka town, which is geographically closer to Meemure than the traditional routes via Hunnasgiriya or Ududumbara.

This long-term plan aims to:

  • Improve safer access for villagers
  • Reduce isolation during extreme weather
  • Support emergency response and essential transport

As with all development near Meemure, progress is expected to be slow, cautious, and environmentally sensitive.

🌱 A Message to All Meemure Lovers



You can come close to Meemure again.
You can walk near her forests and streams.
But please remember:

Nature remembers everything we do.

Do not throw garbage.
Do not damage paths, trees, or water sources.
Do not treat Meemure as a place to conquer.

Because one day, nature responds — and we have already felt how powerful that response can be.


Come with respect.
Walk with care.
Leave only footprints — and take back only memories.

💚 Meemure is rebuilding — not just roads, but trust between humans and nature.
